It was another great show with James Gates of Tipline - Gates? Computer Tips [10]
taking us through Moodle, and it's features. Jim was excited and
passionate about this subject as you'll be able to tell from the show
audio.

Our Diigo links[13]
for this show include some school sites using moodle. Many have guest
sign-in that will let you look at pages without editing privileges.

Please join us on September 24th, 2007 for a discussion of social networks in Education with John Pederson[14].

then have others subscribe to it
Charlene C @Durff... in Moodle, chats are archived
Durff http://www.slideshare.net/jgates513/moodle-for-elementary-grades/1[17]
Durff here yes too
Charlene C thanks Jim, I'm still on an older version of Moodle... we hope to
upgrade soon
courosa Well, there are some RSS feeds in Moodle ... but I just use Moodle to
link to other created content that CAN be subscribed too.
courosa to
courosa You can also add your own RSS feeds ... custom feeds.
courosa So you could create a podcast list in Google Reader, add it to Moodle,
and have students subscribe to it from there.
Durff http://www.slideshare.net/jgates513/moodle-for-elementary-grades/1[17]

dlangston Jim, Which activity is it that you used to set up your "Word Wall?"
Durff http://lcms.central.sa.edu.au/bpsmoodle/[20] (Brighton Primary School)
JoseR Hi
JoseR Hi LisaP could to see you here.
JimGates diangston - the word wall itself was made with the html block
JimGates then you use a glossary or wiki to put the words in there to make the
word wall words light up
JimGates BECAUSE... glossary words and wiki words are automatically linked any
time they appear in the course
